UNION GnADED SCHOOL. (Last week’s letter.) The box party on last Friday night was a success in every sense of the word. We wish to say that the fonr young ladie’s v’ho recited at the opening of the exercises, Miss Dola Norman, Miss Lillie Craig, Miss Clemmie Gunter and Miss Beulah Rosser, did much honor to themselves. These ladies as they recited were surrounded by the beauties of the forest as this our arbor day. The liodse was very tastily deco rated under the management of Mrs. Johnson and Miss Castellaw. Miss Emma Craig and Miss Dola Norman to make the race for the most popular queen of the com munity. Mr. Timon Bowden nominated Miss Norman, and Mr. Cathy nom inated Miss Craig. We desire to call special at ten tion to these tw’o young men who were the heroes of the evening. They aroused the people to such a pitch that men turned money loose who litle dreamed of such thing. We want to add our praise to Miss Louis Craig for her heroism in helping to advance this very worthy cause. 2545 votes were cast at five cents each. Although both ladies could not be elected, we consider it an honor conferred on them to be selected as the means to get this large sum of money for so worthy a cause. This is the second time the commu nity has seen proper to select INI iss Craig as its most fit candidate. We know three men who voted $25 cash. The evening was made most en joyable to all present. Delightful games were engaged in by many of the young folks for a great part of the evening. We wish to say here in conclu sion that we planted very artistic ally in arrangement 65 trees on school grounds arbor day, which we observed last Friday with song, recitations, and tree-planting. O. W. Johnson. How The Weekly is Ap preciated in Alabama. Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 14, 1908. The Henry County Weekly, McDonough, Ga. Gentlemen: — Enclosed you will please find check for SI.OO of which you will please place me in good standing for your paper to Jan. Ist, 1909. I can’t afford to he without The Weekly. It seems like a long let ter from home to me. I was raised in Henry county near McDonough and to get this paper it keeps me posted as to how everytning is in that whole section, and the welfare of McDonough, and all the happen ings in a general way throughout the entire country. I am pleased to note that McDon ough has built up much in the past few years. I left there about eight years ago, anti from the tone of the Weekly I note that there litis been quite a lot of changes for the good there. I also note that McDonough has two good hanks, and that is good evidence that it is growing, and to note the statements of these banks at the close of business Jan. Bth, it seems that they are in a fine shape, this, and other things that I see in your paper are something that I feel proud of. lam proud of my native state, and most especially Henry County, and to see these in dustries growing up makes me feel still more proud of my old stamp ing grounds. I will close, with success, best wishes, and a happy new year to the Weekly, I beg to remain, Yours truly, H. H. Fields. Mr. W. L. Glass, of near Flippen, was a visitor here Wednesday and while in town paid the Weekly a pleasant call. BANK OF STOCKBRIDGE STOCKBRIDGE, GA.

SIXTH DISTRICT. lam proud to say I am now hack in the grand old county of Henry, the county of my birth. Many thing have happened since I left; many have passed away and many have moved in. It is sur prising to compare McDonough now with sixteen years ago. Only a short while hack I was down in the city one night, and in walking from the depot to town, when I got along where the old Nolan place formerly stood. I almost be lieved it was Peachtree street in Atlanta. I tell you, in truth, it is not the same place it was thirty five years ago, with fine church es, fine school houses, fine resi dences, which indeed give it the appearance of a city. Well, the people of Clayton county are as clever as there are anywhere—especially around The Rock church. I have been told that, my friend J T Adamson was being solicited by his many friends to make the race for Sheriff. Jim is one of Clayton’s best farmers, merchant, a man with . a host of friends—and he sure would make a fine officer. If he decides to en ter the race he will be hard to de feat. I hepe this will' he one of the happiest and most prosperous years under Hoke Smith’s reform movement the State has ever had. Everything that run for office on Hoke’s platform went in. I nev er thought of the reform move ment having enough to run it un til I saw the roof and raiter rising extra session of the legislature— five R. R. Commissioners instead of three ! Hooray for Gov. Smith ! —He has reformed the State so much in such a short while, why not send him to the United States Senate? Well, Mr. Editor, I think I have felt the political wave strike us al ready. Let the reform go on. I am fearful some of the great re formers will go out of office this year—it may be in Henry county. Hoping The Weekly and its many readers a huppy. prosperous New Year.—H. C. Alexander. TURNER'S CHURCH Rev. J. E. England filled his reg ia 1a r appointment at Turner s church Sunday. Mr. Rosser Maloy and sister, Miss Gussie, of Newton, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs Will M Hoy last Sunday. Mr. Harris Stewart and Miss Sophie Stewart have the measles noiv, hut their many friends hope they will soon be well again. Mr. Tom Russell, of Ala., was the guest of his uncle and aunt Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ammons last week. Mr. Inman Davies was tlic guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W . Davies last Sunday. School Girl.
